Hi Friends,
I decided to try a blog instead of using facebook. Some of the things I post are very personal and I would rather not have everyone reading it, only those who are close to me and interested about how my daily fight against cancer and depression are going. I hope you will participate and share this with others as inspiration if they or someone they know are also fighting a life threating or terminal disease. PS, if you have ever done this I can use all the help I can get. This is my first and more than likely, my last blog.
Jim

Jim - there are so many cliche things I could say like keep up the fight, and some kind of new age thing, but the truth is it just stinks, and it makes me sad. I am a great believer in God and that everything happens for a reason, but some things are tougher to understand than others. I pray for you and for your miracle, may God Bless you!
ReplyDeleteThank you Denise. The funny thing is....well, maybe not so funny, is other than some pain in my right hip area, I feel great. What scares me is how fast it has spread in the last two months. At the beginning of all of this it was in my left kidney. The doctors removed the kidney. It then went to my upper right lung. The doctors removed that. About three years ago it went into both lungs but had been stopped dead in its tracks by a new trial medication I was taking. In October I had a mild heart attack, since then the cancer has gone to my ribs, spine, and both legs. The cancer has weakened my bones so I am getting bone strengthening injections. I have a few fractured ribs and a few fractures on my spine. Lord only knows why they do not hurt right now? I have always been a believer in God and of miracles. I'm counting on both right now.

ReplyDeleteJim this is so precious. You are making me cry as I read your blog. You have so much courage and a remarkably infectious outlook on your appreciation for life's blessings. I look forward to walking through "The Purpose Driven Life" with you and whoever else we can wrangle up for our own life-saving treatment. God has shown great mercy on you, and I am convinced He is going to continue using you to bless others. None of us know how much time we have in our human skins; but God does. Perhaps that is all we need to know.

Jim your fight and attitude with cancer is really inspirational for all of us fighting cancer. I really liked your comparison to baseball, and being the Padres fan we both are, I wanted to remind you of last season and how often the Padres received a miracle in the bottom of the ninth. I am praying everyday for a miracle for everyone with cancer.
